Cry To Heaven

[Verse 1] I found a black beret on the street today It was lying in the gutter all torn There's a white flag flying on a tall building But the kids just watch the storm Their dirty faces pressed on the windows Shattered glass before their eyes There's a mad dog barking in a burned out subway Where the sniper sleeps at night [Chorus][x2] No birthday songs to sing again Just bricks and stones to give them Wrap them up in your father's flags And let them cry to heaven [Verse 2] There are many graves by a cold lake As the beds were when your babies are born And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin I saw a black cat tease a white mouse Until he killed it with his claws Seems a lot of countries do the same thing Before they go to war [Chorus][x2] [Outro] Let them cry to Heaven Let them cry to Heaven Let them cry to Heaven Read more: Elton John - Cry To Heaven Lyrics | MetroLyrics
